the code gives error when I try to open directory as I want it to open the files within the directories however I am getting below error.

    with open(i, 'rb') as f:
IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: 'hard_signatures'

    for i in SHA256_HASHES_pack1:
            with open(i, 'rb') as f:
                md5 = hashlib.md5()
                sha1 = hashlib.sha1()
                while True:
                    data = f.read(BUF_SIZE)
                    md5.update(data)
                    sha1.update(data)

That open function opens a file, not a directory. See https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_func_open.asp

If you want to cycle through all files in directory i see How can I iterate over files in a given directory?
